Thoracic MRI , would appreciate help interrupting it.

I don't understand theses results from an MRI done two days ago. I'm having SEVER thoracic and lumbar pain. Going down my left leg. The Lumbar MRI was normal? I'm shocked because it hurts so bad in my lower left lumbar. I am currently in a wheelchair because my gate is so messed up. Any help is really appreciated!! Here it is...



Procedure: MRI thoracic Spine without contrast.

Vertebral Bodies:
There is a osseous hemangioma involving the T10 vertebral body.

T1-T2: Unremarkable.

T2-T3: Unremarkable.

T3-T4: Unremarkable.

T4-T5: Unremarkable.

T5-T6: Unremarkable.

T6-T7: Unremarkable.

T7-T8: There is a left protrusion partially effacing the anterior subarachnoid space. There is mild central stenosis, but no cord impingement. The neural foramina are patent.

T8-T9: There is a focal central protrusion abutting the cord resulting in a mild central stenosis. The neural foramina are patent.

T9-T10: Shallow left paracentral protrusion is seen causing only minimal narrowing of the central canal.

T10-T11: Minimal central protrusion is seen without canal compromise.

T11-T12: Unremarkable

Spinal Cord:
No abnormal signal intensity is seen in the visualized spinal cord.

Impression:
1.Small protrusions from T7-T8 through T10-T11, with mild central stenosis at T7-T8 and T8-T9, stable.

2.No significant cord impingement at any level.

Could be your Sciatica nerve I've  had that for the last 4 years and it is excruciating at times and no pain other times I'm on 100mcg an hour fentanyl patch and Norco 7.5 mg try asking about that mine isn't as bad now though because I  lost 200+lbs and feel like a new woman I have less pain more energy

You need a contrasted mri. It can tell you if you have leakage or not. It can tell you way more than without having a dye given.
